Galamsey, derived from the phrase “gather them and sell”, is local Ghanaian parlance that means illegal small-scale, gold mining in Ghana — Wikipedia
Illegal mining is destroying the environment in parts of Ghana at an alarming rate. Lush, green forests have been decimated. Rivers that were once clean and home to many aquatic creatures now resemble a toxic cocoa drink, harmful to both humans and animals.
Every effort to stop this detrimental Galamsey has been in vain. It’s a complex situation that demands robust and stringent measures.
Only the brave, honest, and selfless can win this battle.
But who will lead the charge?
